USGS Topo · Published 1984About this map
Meandering loops of the Rio Grande define the international boundary between the United States and Mexico in this 1963 survey of southern Hidalgo County. The river's shifting course is documented through several named bancos, such as Caballero Banco No 97 and La Parida Banco No 144, illustrating the complex riparian geography of the borderlands. Inland, the landscape is shaped by the Missouri Pacific railroad and the Mission Main Canal, supporting a mix of agricultural and industrial activity.
